I've made it super easy for you with every steps. Here, I'll share all about building a booking engine for a rental property like booking.com using Ruby on Rails 6 and Elasticsearch 7.

The funny thing is, building a working "Booking engine" was easier than designing and implementing an interface that manages availability, prices, and properties of the owners.

It's a little more complex than Airbnb. Mainly because it allows hotels to manage multiple rooms with different options with their own availability/prices.

In my real project, there are added requirements like geo-location search, distinct availability statuses, minimum booking nights, and more.

I'll be using the Property model as data model. If you've worked on something similar, you would already know what it does. It's pretty self-explanatory.

I just decided to call it Property rather than Hotel as we have different properties such as hotels, cottages, bed&breakfast, apartments, and others.
